The caliber of machine guns and rifles of the Japanese army was not very large. It is not yet possible to penetrate the frontal armor of these tanks.

So except for a tank car, which was damaged by a Japanese mortar and could not continue the operation. The other tanks were still charging at the Japanese position.

The commander of the Japanese army over there, when he saw the tanks surging forward, immediately shouted: "Bomb the tanks!" ”

Hearing his words, the Japanese soldiers in the position immediately rushed out desperately.

Long Yuhang was in the observation hole of the tank car, and when he saw the infantry rushing out of the Japanese army, he immediately shouted: "Heavy machine gun fire!" Do not let the enemy approach the tank!! ”

Two heavy machine guns in parallel immediately began to strafe the Japanese soldiers.

Bullets erupted from the muzzles of the guns, like two flaming whips, and struck the Japanese soldiers fiercely.

The Japanese soldiers who were charging forward were torn apart by the large-caliber bullets of the heavy machine guns in the blink of an eye. A Japanese soldier even had his head shattered directly by a bullet from a heavy machine gun, turning him into a headless corpse.

However, the Japanese soldiers were not frightened by the fire of these heavy machine guns, but continued to roar and charge forward.

"Roundabout !! from the flanks" The squad commander of the Japanese army yelled.

Attacking a tank from the front can easily be knocked out by its frontal fire. However, if you make a detour from the side, you will enter the dead end of the tank.

The tanks of this era, whether they turned or turned the turret, were much heavier than the tanks of later generations.

After paying for the lives of more than 10 people, seven or eight Japanese soldiers successfully entered the shooting corner of the tank.

At this time, the infantry of the national army, still seventy or eighty meters away from these tanks, could not provide fire cover for their own tanks and make up for the blank area of their firepower.

And the Japanese army also discovered this, so they were able to send infantry to bomb tanks so bravely.

"Blow them up!!"

With the roar of the Japanese troops, those who rushed to the side of the tank had already glued the explosive bag directly to the armor plate on the side of the tank.

"!!"

The fuse was pulled open by the Japanese soldiers, and the explosive pack, which was filled with explosives, exploded immediately.

Although the explosives did not directly penetrate the armor plate of the tank, its huge impact directly caused most of the crew inside the tank to be shocked to death.

A tank car directly lost control and rammed into the side.

"Flat-fire guns have been delivered!" The Japanese soldiers, carrying anti-aircraft guns, came to the front of the position.

These flat-firing guns, when attacking, are not very useful. Especially in this kind of street fighting full of buildings, mortars are much more useful than flat-fire guns.

But in defensive operations, the fire support that these flat-fire guns can provide is very powerful.

The Japanese set up the flat-firing guns on top of the positions and aimed their barrels directly at the tanks that were charging ahead.

At this time, some of the tanks of the armored battalion had been destroyed by the Japanese infantry. It was burning in the flames, and some tank crews covered in flames were rolling on the ground, and after a while, they were beaten into a sieve by the intensive fire of the Japanese army.

At this time, the infantry in the rear hurriedly caught up with the tank in front.

And by this time, the tank had already been destroyed by a third of the Japanese army. And through the time gained by the Japanese infantry, the Japanese flat-firing guns in the rear have been mobilized.

"Cannon !!"

The Japanese gunners roared angrily, and a roar came from the Japanese positions.

One shell after another, piercing through the night, hit the frontal armor of those tanks.

Most of the tanks equipped with the armored battalion of Long Aerospace are light tanks. The thickness of the frontal armor of this tank is limited, and although it can withstand some machine gun and rifle fire, it is somewhat impossible to resist in the face of small-caliber flat-firing guns.

A shell from a flat-fire gun, after hitting a tank, exploded in the cab. The flames swept through the entire cockpit in an instant, and the bursting shrapnel flew through the small cab, piercing the bodies of the tank drivers.

Some of the flat-fire artillery shells did not hit the tanks, but directly hit the charging infantry.

With the explosion of the shells, the soldiers who were hit were torn to pieces by the violent explosion in the blink of an eye. The tissues and organs of the body that flew in all directions left the soldiers next to them covered in blood.

"Keep charging !!" The commander of the Nationalist army in front roared angrily, and recklessly commanded his infantry to attack the Japanese position.

In the rear of the Japanese position, Takeda Yoshi, already with a few hundred soldiers, re-transferred the command.

"Order the fleet in the rear to immediately start using naval guns to support the operations ahead.

Artillery is focused on bombarding the enemy's rear, interrupting their supply and men's charging routes! Make their offensive follow-up powerless! At the same time, naval aviation, immediately began to take off, indiscriminately bombing the enemy's rear blocks !! Takeda Yoshishi calmly commanded his troops.

At this time, dozens of Japanese destroyers and battleships moored here, as well as a large number of cruisers, all turned their guns to the position of the 88th Division on the Yangtze River.

"Fire !!"

Hundreds of large-caliber naval guns fired at the same time, and the shells of naval guns, which were much larger than people, drew an arc in the dark night. Then, after flying more than 10 kilometers, it landed directly in the rear of the national army.

A large number of soldiers of the 88th Division were still charging forward at this time. The Japanese naval artillery shells exploded next to them.

"Boom !!!"

The power of naval artillery shells is not at all comparable to ordinary mountain artillery. A huge cannonball landed and exploded, directly blasting a four-story building into powder.

In flatter places, exploding shells can kill and injure any living creature within a 100-meter range. But anyone who is within this range, whether lying on the ground or hiding in a foxhole, will not escape death.

The terrible impact of large-caliber artillery shells, as well as countless flying shrapnel, as well as the high temperature and heat generated by the explosion, are deadly weapons.

Countless soldiers of the national army were blown to pieces in such a terrible artillery bombardment.

Although the forward of the Nationalist Army had exchanged fire with the Japanese army, its rear was bombarded by Japanese shells, and a large number of troops in the rear could not support the front at all.
